Baby still eating every 2 hours day and night

My baby wants to eat every two hours. She is only taking 4 oz but it is every 2 hours, day and night. I feel that this is too frequent. She won’t take any more whatever I do that is why she is hungry again in two hours. Whose baby does the same? Any ideas how to get baby to eat at least three hours? She will scream the house down too if her milk is late for even a minute 😫

Mine is exactly the same but she has boob first but it's exactly 2 hours from when she started 1 bottle to she starts the next one it's so hard to get out the house by the time she's burped and settled we go to leave and she wants another one. I've found when I'm driving if she falls asleep before she's due she will go a little longer but if she's awake she knows. No advice but I know how you feel, it's so tough sometimes just feels like feed, burp, change repeat

same, I’m so tired of people saying it will get better cause it hasn’t and I don’t think it will until maybe starting solids? 🤔
the longest stretch she’s ever lasted was 4hrs due to a longer nap after vaccines 🤷‍♀️
my partner and I are finding it so difficult and doing shifts, but it’s so hard…
hope you have some support cause this is so exhausting 🫂

it actually got worse for us. She was doing 4 hours stretches when she was a newborn. My partner drives to work and I don’t allow him to help with me at night because I am worried he might loose concentration when driving in the morning. On top of this I am pregnant again and nauseous 😫

this must be so tiring 😩
I’m sure you’ve probably tried it already, but could it be the teat size? or have you tried spacing the 4oz? Idk 🤷‍♀️

but congratulations on the pregnancy! 😍 hope the nausea won’t last x

yes, i did change the teat, didn’t work. Spacing wouldn’t work as she screams at the top of her lungs if she gets one drop less milk than she wants 🤣thank you. i hope it will get better soon for both of us😂

she’s sounds like she knows what she wants already and communicates it in her own way 😉

I’m hoping at least there won’t be any sleep regression because they don’t sleep anyway 🤷‍♀️ 😅

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
